WINTER CARE OF FARMERS CATTLE A Economical Feeding is the Main Thing For Profitable Wintering Animals divided in three distinct classes Do Not Feed to Excess to Young &tock, But dontent Them, y 3}^ I w ' ' w ' The fall scuson i& here and with it approaches the winter feeding problem. It is time to consider what feed can most profitably be used. Grains will be high and should be fed judiciously. The bulk of the feed used for J^wintering stock should be made up of vcs from the farm. Small mounts of concentrates, fed daily ^fVith these feeds, make comparatively <;hcap ratibps entirely suitable to certain classes of live stock. For convenience in planting winter 1* n ? ? ? ..... leeuing, iarm animals may be divided Aito three classes: I. Mature animals . ~t producing an income during winter months. # 11. Animals producing an income during the winter. III. Young and growing stock to be retained on the farm the following summer. In Class I may be included all mature live stock held on the farm, either for breeding purposes, future work, or finishing for market the following summer. In Class II may be included work horses, cows producing milk, and stock being fattened for market or conditioned for sale during the winter months. In Cluss 1 IT may be included all young and growing stock on the farm. The big saving in the winter feed Wll can' be made with Class I. This does not mean that animals of this class should be permitted to come through the winter in a run-down and weakened condition. Rather than consider such a practice, it would he far better to sell the stock in the fall. It is meant, however, that they can and should be maintained on the cheaper feeds. Roughages, supplemented by Ismail amount of concentrates (oil meal or grain) are in favor for them, (live the horses, cattle and sheep access to cut-over grain fielrls and straw stacks, meadows, wooded lots, and pastures. Horses ami <shecp may have access to husked-out corn fields. In certain sections where losses of cattle have been experienced in the flfist.from the so-called <cornstalk disease farmers should consider this fact before turning cattle into such cornfields. As the winter advances, open the bars to shelters, feed racks, and grain troughs. ^ Corn silage will be invaluable at this time, especially for cattle and sheep. Keep the feed racks filled with Jprn stover, hay and straw, but.do not * he '"asteful in the feeding. ( ic amount of grain to be put in the trough cap.not definitely be given, the same should vary in accordance with severences of winter and condi2| tions of stock. This is a point that V can only be decided in the feed lot. To 1 permit the stock to go entirely withWL out concentrates at this time would be a grave mistake, and in all probability make impossible the task of bringing it to spring feed in a healthy and vigorous condition. Such a condition is imperative in the case of breeding animals and essential for feeders if best results are to be obtained. The matter of feeding hogs, included in Class I, presents an entirely dif I'erent problem from that of the other stock. It is true that they may profitably be run on grain fields, meadows, and pastures before snow arrives, out concentrates must constitute much of their ration after outside fields are closed for winter. Roots, chopped alfalfa hay, apples, and waste products of the dairy and household will do <^uch toward keeping down the cost of their winter feed. In fact, any products that will substitute for the forage and grassees in the field, which feeds are so essential to the conditioning of brood sows, can well be used. Concerning the feed for stock included in Class II little need be said. It^is a fact well known that horses at work require both care and feed. This they must receive if their work Is done. To furnish the dairy,cow with rations not intended to meet the demands made upon her system by the milk she. gives would defeat the purpose for which she. is kept. Equally 41 ? . MRS. ELLA STEVENS LOSES HER SUIT Mrs. Ella Stevens of Columbia lost ast Friday her suit for $25,000 in he United States District Court .gainst Ringling Brothers, owners of he Barnum & Bailey circus, for ;busive language, discourteous treaticnt and humiliation which she allcgi having suffered at the hands of cirus ushers on the occasion ofthe perormancc in Columbia, October 17. 1913. The case has been through the ommon pleas court for Richland Jounty and the supreme court of ,;outh <>r<?Una before being taken into the federal court l Ushers are said to have asked Mrs. Stevens to move in order that others might pass to reach reserve seats in the same row for which they held coupons. Testimony in the case was oegun Thursday. The last witness being Col. Richard Singleton of Colunv bia. Witnesses for the defense said that the conduct of the ushers was "courteous" and "patient". Miss Eva LeConte of Columbia and Miss Bland Williams of Camden said they heard nothing to which they would have taken exception or which they would have considered discourteous. o SUMMONS FOR RELIEF Complaint Not Served.

As the food requirements for! these different classes of live stock is j a matter of common knowledge to I I stockmen, it remains only to sec that I it is provided in abundance. With Class III, the young and grow ing stock, most costlyl mistakes in feeding occur. A full realization of the fact that cheapest and most rapid gains in live stock are made with younger animals should do much toward obviating losses to farmers through insufficient and improper feed ing of such animals. The failure to j put gains on animals during the grow*! ing period intended for them by na-j ture can not be corrected by copious feeding at any later time. Their growth has been stinted, and rarely will they fully recover from the earlier set back Even when they do it is, a costly practice to put growth and flesh on a stunted animal, as compared to what could have been done when he was in a healthy and vigorous condition. But it is not necessary that young stock should be fed as are fattening animals. Watch their feed troughs and see that all of the daily rations are consumed. Do not feed them in excess, but make certain they are contented after each feeding. See that the exercise lot is used daily and that clean water is provided. The failure to feed young stock properly will open the way for future serious troubles, and no stockman can afford to en-1 courage such a practice, even during the winter months. V \ _ v..

The farmer who burns wood for mating and cooking* should carefully ;tore the ashes and not permit them o leach, as they have a peculiar ferilizing value. They not only contain j ootash and phosphoric acid in appro- I T iable amounts, but also contain magnesia and lime, and when applied to :he land they also act indirectly to increase the available nitrogen content ji organic matter in the soil. Ordinary house ashes contain on the average about b or 9 per cent of potr.sli and 2 per cent of phosphoric acid, f Investigators have considered that ^ there is enough potash and phosphoric | ^ acid in a bushel of ashes to make it ^ worth 20 or 25 cents. Besides that, some 10 or 15 cents additional might' r be allowed for the 'alkali power" of 1 < the ashes. This power is that which enables ashes to rot weeds and to ferment peat. The potash content of ^ ashes will he lost if they are permitted to leach, and care should ho tsiknn - - ' - 1 to store them in a dry place. I , . I Wood ashes may be profitably ap- | plied a top dressing to grass land and . to pastures, where they will encourage the growth of clover and the better kinds of grasses, which will then crowd out inferior kinds and weeds.' Wood ashes also may be used for corn and roots. Because of their lime content they are not so good for potatoes,' although sometimes used for thit. i crop. . ?. ?? Ashes from hardwoods (deciduous1 trees) are richer in both phosphorus 1 and potash than those from pines and j other softwoods (conifers). The ashes of twigs (faggots, for example) arc worth more for agricultural purposes than the ashes of heartwood taken , from the middle of an old tree. In j general, the smaller and younger the' wood burned the better ashes. The 1 ashes of coal do not contain potash to make them valuable in this connection^ The hulls of cotton seed, according to specialists, yield ashes which con | tain from 18 to 80 per cent of potash and from 5 to 10 per cent of phosphoric acid. Cotton-hull ashes therefore j as a fertilizer are much more eonccn-1 trated than ordinary wood ashes. As j a matter of fact, in the opinion of | some* investigators, the ashes from ( cottonseed hulls contain such a large proportion of potash that they might do considerable harm to certain crops if they were used in large quantities, i These ashes have been used with . advantage lor manuring tobacco, and i have in times past brought as much as $35 or $40 a ton in New England. One objection to their use is that they vary widely in composition. At the present time, however, the hulls are used to feed to such an extent that it is difficult to secure their ashes for fertilizing purposes. o i Nervous? | Mrs. Walter Vincentt ^ of Pleasant Hill, N.

Sl.OO ^ THREE 'ROGRAM ON SUBJECT OF SAFE FARMING tow to Have Plenty of Supplies And Some Cotton For Market ; JNDER SIX HEADS " I 1 ESSENTIALS ARE NAMED nteresting Circular Has Been Mailed by Department in The South. 1 ? i ft 11 ?** .. i As * I * I* Washington, D. C., Nov. 3.?A program of "Safe Farming" for the South is outlined in a circular which he United States Department of Ag iculture has sent to hankers, business nen and farmers in the cotton States. The history of agriculture in the South, it has been said, has been one ^f lean years and fat years. Short ?rops and high prices have almost invariably been followed by big crops ind low prices and, in consequence, the farmer has experienced much distress. The increased attention which U.,? il-. 1 iut? i v'v.1"11l i \ ut-vn given 10 supporting the people upon the land has already resulted in much good, but there is some danger, it is pointed out, that, with the price of cotton rising, there will be a tendency for farmers to return to the old system of gambling on cotton. If the people of the South produced their own living, the circular points out, it would steady the wnoie system and keep the boat from rocking. The safety measures recommended are as follows: First: Produce a home garden for every family on the farm, the year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sufficient to supply the family with food of this character. Where feasible, have a patch of sorghum or other cane to produce syrup for the family. ^ Second: Produce the corn necessary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with absolute safety. Third: Produce the necessary oats and other small grain to supplement, the corn as food. Pay attention .'in Winter grazing, Fourth: Produce hay hud for ace from some forage crop, suftieieht to supply all of the live stock on the farm Use legumes such as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and alfalfa for the production of hay and to enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus. Fifth: Produce the meat necessary to supply the people, through increased attention to poultry and hogs, especially. Plan to increase gradually the number of cattle and other live stock so as to have a sufficient number to consume the waste products of the farm and make the waste lands productive. Sixth: After all of these things have been amply provided"for, produce cotton for the market. . .. 1 . _ .. FRESH M ULLET New Catch properly handled and cured.
